Haynes new guide and motorists' complete road log of Yellowstone National Park . CONTAINING BEDDING, UTENSILS AND RATIONSFOR THREE WEEKS. 17414 the Park, and probably the one most rapidly cannot predict a season in advance whether any oneof its geysers will be doubly active the coming summer, orbecome entirely inactive. The Minute Man Greyser is interesting on accountof its regularity, and the fact that most of the waterthrown out flows back into the crater after the crater is small, and appears to have been originally onlya fissure in the rock. Three miles from Norris Basin the road enters ElkPark, a beautiful valley surrounded by heavily-timiber-ed hills. Chocolate Spring, an unique hot spring has built acone of rich chocolate color across the river from the road. At the northern entrance to Gibbon Canyon on theopposite side of the river a thousand feet above theroad is Mount Schurz, on the summit of which is theMonument Geyser Basin. Unless one is inclined toscientific observation, a climb up the steep trail to this 52 HAYNES NEW GUIDE. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MOUNTED RANGER 19079 basin is hardly justified.

Beryl Spring is attractive and deserves particularnotice, being the largest boiling spring in the Gibboncanyon, and the hottest one in the park. It is fifteen feetacross, and is close by the roadside, about a mile fromthe entrance to the canyon. GKbbon Palls, whose waters tumble in a foamy tor-rent down a steep cascade on one side, and on the other,flow in a thin, shining ribbon of silvery spray from aheight of over eighty feet, is next seen.
